Cake Decorating: Fun With Fondant

Just got a sweet review from the Library Journal on the fondant DVD with Robin. This is what they said:
Robin Hassett, co-owner of and baker at the Dessert Tray in Portland, OR, shares in this lively and informative DVD her tips and tricks for working with fondant, that mix of sugar, water, and flavoring that is the foundation of many candies and icings.
After discussing the basic tools and techniques, Hassett provides a recipe for fondant and then goes through the step-by-step process of decorating two different birthday cakes. Excellent production values and a well-designed menu allow viewers to navigate the DVD with ease. Hassett proves to be an engaging and cheery guide to the world of fondant, making this program the perfect choice for beginning cooks who want to start turning out their own colorful cakes. A useful addition to any public library cooking collection.—John Charles, Scottsdale P.L., AZ.

  Howto & Style

fondant makes the cake look nice but i can't stand the taste of it,it's awful,it's like eating clay,well it is clay right but edible,for me just NO,how can people eat that thing?

[cookingupastory]

Robin said many people just peel it off before eating the cake. It might also depend upon the fondant recipe - but it is essentially like a sugary sweet play-doh…some like it, some don't!

What did she use to attach the fondant flowers to the sides of the cake? Technique is so professional and precise! Please ask her to make more fondant videos! LOVE!

[cookingupastory]

Glad you like it! Robin brushes on a little bit of water before applying the flower, and lightly presses it into place.

looks great, but I see one critical mistake in this entire video.. Although the cakes look great, You are missing one important step. GLOVES!! This is all "Ready to eat" food.. I am currently in culinary school and after taking a servsafe class.. This is one thing I stress. How many people could potentially get sick? Not trying to knock on you. The work looks fantastic. Just thought I'd point that out.

[cookingupastory]

I hear what you're saying, and I want to add that Robin made this cake for demonstration purposes only. She had it on display for a few days, but it was not made to be sold.

hygiene & gloves aren't always mutually inclusive you know... my grandmother had cleaner hands than any commercial kitchen bench I've ever seen... and with creative culinary exhibits such as this, i say wash your hands, ditch the gloves!!

You are great

[prettiestleogurl30]

I agree. The response I get from ppl is wow- big eyes & smiles. Sadly they always eat the cakes lol, but hey that's what it's for. Nothing but crumbs are ever left!!! Cakes are a work if art!!

[Shabnum Babar]

This is what you call a cake
